Looking for advice on how to keep the lawn green and luscious in a 10x12 small area in my backyard in Palm Springs, CA. I have sprinklers with timers that I can set. It is really sandy and we have some yellow patches.
When is the best time of the day to water and for how long, and when should we cut (once or twice a week)? Thank you in advance for your help!
A lot will depend on the watering restriction in your area, normally it is better to water in the early morning 4-6 am, typically I try to mow my lawn when it is cooler, for myself and the health of the grass.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
Thank you, crawgarden! What do you all think of products like Azos and Bio-Ag to strengthen the roots of the grass? Anyone with experience in the Palm Springs desert-like conditions?
